The signal pin and screening clamp are joint-less by design keeping the music signal pure. The plugs employ an outer locking sleeve to clamp to your amplifier phono sockets. Simply loosen off the silver sleeve before fitting then tighten once connected to maximise contact and performance

I have several pairs of these and have used them for the past few years. Every now and then I have thought that there must be a better pair of sub-£100 interconnects and I try some. I have now given up. These really are gems. Transparent with superb clarity and best of all they are supremely balanced, not accentuating - just letting the music flow with great clarity. Reversing them adds a little sweetness to the sound. Either way, they are unsung heros in my system.
